CAC 25th Annual Conference and Workshop
Winnipeg, the city of festivals and host of the 1999 Pan-American Games
is
proud to host the 25th Annual CAC Conference and Workshop from the 26th
to
the 30th of May, 1999.
The conference and workshop will take place at the newly restored Hotel
Fort Garry in the heart of Winnipeg, close to the Forks national
Historic
Site. The Forks (the Junction of the Red and Assiniboine Rivers), has
for
over 6,000 years been the place where people have come to meet, trade,
and
tell stories. It is therefore appropriate that the CAC hold its annual
conference and workshop in this area to continue the tradition.
The theme for the 1999 workshop is "Green Conservation: Environmental
and
Human Safety in Conservation." Greater public awareness of environmental
issues and human health have altered views of safety in the workplace
particularly in the field of conservation. In this workshop we will
examine
health hazards and how to combat them; not only toxic chemicals, but
also
biological hazards such as those encountered in disaster recovery and
infestation. Physical hazards, diseases, and injuries that commonly
occur
will also be examined.
The workshop will also study how the conservation profession is taking
steps
to prevent further danage and reduce risk by adopting environmentally
safe
treatments and new options which move away from the use of hazardous
materials.
We look forward to seeing you all in Winnipeg!
